Scalable storage architectures allow for the addition or removal of storage devices to increase storage capacity and bandwidth or retire older devices. Assuming random placement of...
The design principle of restricting local autonomy only where necessary for global robustness has led to a scalable Internet. Unfortunately, this scalability and capacity for dist...

Abstract— The current approach in web searching, i.e., centralized search engines, rises issues that question their future applicability: 1) coverage and scalability, 2) freshnes...
This paper presents Timed Quorum System (TQS), a quorum system for large-scale and dynamic systems. TQS provides guarantees that two quorums, accessed at instances of time that are...
Application systems in the earth observation area can be characterised as distributed, platform-inhomogeneous, complex, and cost intensive information systems. In order to manage t...
